"Food for me was a connecting link to my grandmother, to my childhood, to my past. And what I found out is that for everybody, food is a connector to their roots, to their past in different ways. It gives you security; it gives you a profile of who you are, where you come from." - Lidia Matticchio Bastianich

When I started blogging, I never knew that blogging will help me for my emotional well-being. Especially, since Nov 2008 when the terror struck India/Mumbai - my home town, I felt extremely restless and anxious. I had decided to take break in November as well as December due to travel and family time. But I started blogging again in December. It helped me escape the anxiety. Though I tried to post a recipe per day in Dec, I couldn't visit even my favorite blogs, or couldn't comment/reply to emails or participate in all the events, due to really busy schedule.

But I wanted to participate in Srivalli's Best of 2008 event. Each post has some special significance for me. So it's really difficult to pick and choose just a few. But still, I tried my best to pick a few of more favorites to me.
